Kesar Paneer Kofta

a



I watched this kofta curry on a Cookery TV Show & it has been in my mind since so long. Yesterday, when my cousin & her family visited our place after a long time, I prepared this curry for dinner.  It came out very tasty.....  

Ingredients

Grated Paneer/Cottage cheese  1 bowl
Cashew Powder                         2 spoons
Cloves                                        2-3
Bay Leaf                                     1 
Cornflour/Maida                        3 spoons
Curd                                           2 spoons                                 
Cream                                        1/2 bowl
Cinnamon                                  1 small stick
Saffron                                       1/4 tsp
White Pepper Powder                1/4 tsp
Finely Chopped Pistachio         1 spoon
Finely Chopped Almonds          1 spoon
Oil                                              For Deep Frying  + 1 tbsp
Salt                                            As per taste

Method
*  In a bowl combine grated paneer, salt, cornflour/Maida and white pepper powder.
*  Mix very well. 
* Make lemon size balls out of the mixture. Flatten each ball and stuff it with chopped pistachios and almonds. 
* Close the balls neatly.
* Heat sufficient oil in a deep bottom pan and deep fry the koftas.
* Now, In another pan heat 1 tbsp of oil, add bay-leaf , cloves, cinnamon and saute for a minute.
* Add ginger garlic paste saute it for two minutes or until the raw smell goes out.
* Add curd, cream, saffron (diluted in milk), salt, white pepper powder and cashew powder. Stir. 
* Cook the gravy until it gets thickens. Switch off the fire.
* Place Koftas in a serving dish. Pour over the gravy. Garnish with saffron strands and serve.
